I like the deals from S&S you posted in your signature. I have never heard of S&S until you mentioned it yesterday. Thanks for the information.

Coupons and PM's fine, but if you're taking the price off one item and transferring it to another that's clearly fraud. The incidence of that is reduce nowadays due to UPC usage though.

I picked up deals from different sites going back to 2000 or so... I think a 12X burner for $99 was my first.
I came to SD looking for a color laser printer, and stayed for the debauchery.
